    Asked to wear shoes at YMCA after +4 years

    It finally happened....I was told at the local YMCA that I must wear shoes on the treadmill, after more than 4 years of nobody saying anything (I run in SNOX socks that have a tiny bit of traction on bottom). This probably happened because I went during “grumpy old people time”. I commented to...

    Registered for my first 5K

    Just registered for my first 5K ever, coming in about a month. Never been in a "race" before and I am leery of being singled-out for bare feet. I ran a "Tough Tiger" barefoot with my daughter for a school event a few years ago. About 2 miles with obstacles along the way. One person did...

    Hello from Rhode Island, USA

    Basically stumbled into barefoot running a couple of years ago. My wife joined a bodybuilding competition in 2015 and frankly, until that point, I had never exercised in my life. I had tried a few times to exercise regularly, but it never took. When my wife started a 12-week weightlifting...
